Pathology Innovation Collaborative Community
Overview
Convened by MDIC the “Pathology Innovation Collaborative Community” (PIcc) uniquely elevates discourse, identifies challenges, and establishes better practices for digital pathology, diagnostics, and research.
Vision
The central vision of the collaborative community is to serve as an inclusive organization for all stakeholders regarding pre-competitive regulatory science questions related to pathology innovation. The key deliverable is a clear path for regulation of pathology innovation through regulatory science. The collaborative community will educate each other, seek approvals through various submission programs, and tackle relevant questions by using applicable regulatory science tools.
Mission
PIcc brings together a broad range of stakeholders to accelerate the development and delivery of regulatory science initiatives in the pre-competitive space that modernize the clinical practice of pathology. Specifically, this will include digital pathology and its major enabling fields of machine-learning and artificial intelligence, imaging informatics, engineering, and computational and data sciences. We aim to develop key performance indicators to monitor and communicate progress on how pre-competitive regulatory science can drive innovation in pathology.
